Wednesday’s Conversation
I’m sure God has something special planned for me, due to all the sarcasm I pour out on my family. As happened in Wednesday’s conversation:
LO: Hey, you know what sucks?
Me: Yep.
LO: Okay then…
…
…
LO: You know what else sucks?
Me: What?
LO: When I woke up this morning, I thought it was Thursday.
BG: I thought it was Tuesday. […]

The Conversations at my House
When I’m reading other mom’s blogs, I’m always touched by the cute conversations they have with their little ones. Conversations with my Little One are usually much different, and I don’t think I can ascribe all of it to her teenagerdom. Here’s an example:
LO: “Mom, would you kill someone for me?”
Me: “What?!”
LO: “Would you kill […]

And now for the rest of the story…
Thank you for all the encouragement. I did go to the book club on Friday and had a great time. Even though I had tears in my eyes when the ladies started talking about their kids:
”Buttercup came in first in the state gymnastics finals, and next week she’s competing at the kindergarten Spelling Bee.”
“Junior loves basketball even […]

The Inside Story
Whenever my pregnant friends showed me an ultrasound of their babies, I’d have to smile politely and nod as they pointed things out. I didn’t see a darn thing. None of it looked like fetus. “Look, here’s the head. I think she’s smiling.” They’d say. Sure, yeah. That’s great.
So I don’t know why I thought yesterday’s […]

See, I told you I was sick.
Those of you who have been following along are aware of Little One’s chronic stomachaches. Remember the worst birthday ever? Most mornings she would take her temperature and then announce she was too sick to go to school and then there would be a long argument. Later I’d get text messages frantically telling me she was too sick to […]

The first thing I’m thankful for this week
This weekend Big Guy and I went to his god-daughter’s fourth birthday party. We ove this little girl and her parents dearly, but I came away with an overwhelming feeling of thankfulness that the little years are over for us.
I know that big birthday parties with a dozen shrieking children and their doting mamas must have been […]

“Please tell me more about your trip, Mom.”
Me: I had a great time in Virginia, thanks for asking about it.
Little One: Mmmnnfff.
Me: I saw Thomas Jefferson’s house.
LO: …
Me: I was even in his bedroom. I saw the bed where he died.
LO: Eeeww!
Me: Well, it’s not like he was still in it.
LO: Eeww, Mom!
Me: Guess you don’t want to hear any more. So, […]

Virginia is for Lovers
It’s been a whole three months since Big Guy and I traveled to Atlanta, and two months since our trip to Lansing, and wanderlust has struck. This weekend we’re leaving for a trip to Virginia. BG is attending a conference held by the Transforming Church Institute, along with our pastor, the pastor of our sister […]

Demons Begone!
Can someone please explain to me why a crabby teen who has just snapped at you would go to her room and lock her door? It’s not like we want to go in there after her.
In the paper there was a picture of a Hindu celebration that ends with burning an effigy of a many-headed […]

I’m Working Here!
I’m still on a heavy deadline for a client and working hard tonight. Because it was a beautiful fall day (at least what I could see from my office window), and my office faces a fierce southern exposure, I’ve opened the window and the door is propped open. My family clearly can not live a […]
